PSP


This holiday season just keeps getting better for PSP homebrew users. Obviously, listing all of them would just be considered as wasting time, so I'll get right to the purpose of this post. Dark_AleX has just released the much anticipated update to his earlier custom firmware, 3.02 OE-A. And as promised, the new version will allow you to play your own PlayStation titles, rather than waiting for Sony to release them.

The only new feature in this release is the ability to play your own PlayStation titles, so I won't write up a changelog. Secondly, you can only get 3.02 OE-B on your PSP by upgrading from 3.02 OE-A, which means that if you're one of the few who haven't upgraded to 3.02 OE, it's time to do it now! Once you're on 3.02 OE-B, it's best to check out the readme.

The instructions for converting your PlayStation games to the POPS format are included in the popstation folder inside the archive. Here is a list of FAQs that Dark_AleX has included in the readme:
  • Q: My game generated is a lot bigger in size than the same one from the PS3 Store.
  • A: They use compression. Because the algorithm of compression is not still cracked, compressed isos are not supported yet.
  • Q: I have my game in bin/cue.
  • A: Use the bin as the ISO while converting.
  • Q: I have my game in img/ccd...
  • A: Use the img as the ISO while converting.
  • Q: The savegames have the icon of Hot Shots 2!
  • A: It's normal. Don't worry.

The only problem right now is that the emulator isn't 100% compatible with all the games out there. That's something you'll have to wait for Sony to fix. For the full instructions on converting your games to the POPS format, refer to the readme inside the popstation folder. In case any of you are having problems with the popstation converter, it's probably something to do with the file cygwin1.dll. Not to worry though, you can download the file from the link below and place the cygwin1.dll file in C:/Windows/System32/ folder. That should fix it. I'm already busy converting my small collection of PSX games to the POPS format. Have fun!

Execute popstation.exe from the command line. You have to pass one parameter, which is the filename

of the iso. e.g:



> popstation yadayada.iso



This wont work for me.... okay... i'm no friend of DOS....oO

» ummmm...

A#1: that site you just posted is for PSP isos, not PS1 isos. I know a good site, but i also know better than to post it on these forums. aaaaaaaaand...



A#2: i try to open popstation.exe and it tells me to F off. Well, specifically it says "cygwin1.dll was not found". I reffered to the readme and it talks of going to the PS3store to get the iso, but i thought this was for converting your own PS1 games - ie. actual game discs you own. Im gonna go grab what few ones i didn't sell off for ganj when PS2 came out and I'll post again with the results. If anyone is reading this and laughing their ass off because I'm doing something horribly wrong - get me at yahoo (SouthtownZ@yah oo.com).



\And, once again, thx Dark Alex - truly the king of the homebrew.

it is not usable on a ta-82, sorry :( ...I feel your pain.

by elboffor - 2006-12-25 02:06
» whatever ya want matey

you convert iso's which is the typical format you will find them in on filesharin, or just make an iso from the game usin alchahol120% or nero

by GaveUpTomorrow - 2006-12-25 02:07
» Yes, ...

but that would be piracy and thus illegal. Why not jump on Ebay and buy a couple of the games you want to play the legal way? You can get most ps1 games for next to nothing now a days, except for a select few... If you want to ignore all things moral though, I guess I can't stop you...

For those querying Final Fantasy, it shouldn't matter about changing discs - Final Fantasy allows you to save your game before loading the next disc. All you have to do is switch off the game, change the eboots (or "discs") around, and load it. It SHOULD work fine.

» law sucks sometimes

The problem is that popstation needs some information that is stored in hot shots golf 2 and it would be illegal to distribute that data. I think that was what happened to booster when he disappeared for a while, that he had distributed the firmware dumps along with his DevHook (I don't know for sure though)

by YOURBUDDY - 2006-12-25 06:30
» HOW TO CONVERT YOUR GAMES.

Rule #1: Your PS1 game(s) has to be in ISO format. Not BIN, CUE, or whatever. If you want to convert your game image to ISO, use this program called MagicISO.



Rule#2: Cygwin1.dll has to be present in C:\Windows\Syst em32\. If not, drag and drop it into there.

(example: C:\Windows\Syst em32\Cygwin1.dll)



Once you have your ISO and say that it is metalgear.iso, make sure that the ISO and everything else needed is in ONE FOLDER TOGETHER.



Now, click on START and goto RUN. Yes... the "Start" on the bottom left of your screen that is part of Windows.

:-P



And in double quoation mark ("like this") it will be the path to your popstation.exe file.



(example: "C:\Documents and Settings\YourCo mputer\Desktop\ popstation\pops tation.exe")



Now... hit the SPACE key, on your keyboard. Now in another double quoation mark, type the path to your ISO file.



(example: "C:\Documents and Settings\YourCo mputer\Desktop\ popstation\meta lgear.iso")



So the RESULT would look like this.



C:\Documents and Settings\YourCo mputer\Desktop\ popstation\pops tation.exe" "C:\Documents and Settings\YourCo mputer\Desktop\ popstation\meta lgear.iso"



Now, press ENTER on your keyboard and it should tell you that it is converting. and you'll notice that the EBOOT.PBP file is being generated.



---------

Note: You can get the path to both the popstation.exe and the path to your game by right-clicking on them.





GOOD LUCK!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Okay I finally got my thing to work. When You start up the DOS does it automatically shut off? if not then u have to manually find the "popstation" folder in the DOS menu (easier if u just place the popstation folder right where the command line is)



after that, put the Syphon Filter EBOOT.PBP and KEYS.BIN file into the popstation folder.



Rename the EBOOT.PBP into BASE.PBP



when you have the ISO file inside the POPSTATION folder also, in the command DOS type



C:\Documents and settings\Craig>cd popstation (this gets you into the popstation folder)



then this will come up



C:\documents and settings\Craig\ popstation>



now type "popstation "file name"

One thing to keep in mind is the Game Save. As it's called Hot Shots 2 regardless of the converted game I would maybe back it up if you have more than 2 converted game on your MS.

godfrilla, if u want to use ur PS1 games, u gotta plance the folders in the GAME folder and configure the XMB to launch the GAME folder as the 3.02 Kernel.

Open the command prompt (cmd) using the Run command. Navigate to where the popstation folder is on your computer. Now type in, without quotes, "popstation.exe NAME_OF_ISO.iso".

So what happens when you're playing a game that has more than one disc, and you get to the part where it says please insert disc 2?



Am I missing something?

Did you read the part in the readme where it says to "Execute popstation.exe from the command line. You have to pass one parameter, which is the filename

of the iso eg. popstation castlevania.iso" after you change directories to the popstation folder

» bricked...?

checked in today to see this OE-B firmware and nowhere in the download page or the linked page does it say requiring OE-A to install. so I load up the OE-B update folder and run it, now it's all broke. the PSP turns on and just sits at the black screen with the power light on then eventually shuts off. so i open up the readme and it just casually says 'this is the update from OE-A to OE-B'.. i recommend at least putting it in BIG BOLD LETTERS ON THE MAIN LINK PAGE THAT THIS WILL BRICK YOUR PSP IF YOU DONT HAVE OE-A PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED



cause this ***** sucks.

It says that you need oe-a you idiot The only new feature in this release is the ability to play your own PlayStation titles, so I won't write up a changelog. Secondly, you can only get 3.02 OE-B on your PSP by upgrading from 3.02 OE-A, which means that if you're one of the few who haven't upgraded to 3.02 OE, it's time to do it now! Once you're on 3.02 OE-B, it's best to check out the readme. - Exact quote

to the idiots telling me that it says you need oe-a on the download page, it doesn't, read. to the other idiot who said there's a reason it's called 'oeb updater'... look back to the 2.71se-c, one of the main draws to updating was the future ability of allowing updates, not having to completely re-install a new firmware everytime an update is released.

If anyone is wondering, this is the error I keep getting:

*** system shared memory version mismatch detected - 0x75BE0096/0x75BE0084.

This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL. Search for cygwin.dll using the Windows->Find/Search facility and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version *should* reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where 'x' is the drive on which you have installed the cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you are unable to find another cygwin DLL.

It's converted from a Bin/Cue file and not iso.

But that shouldn't be a problem normally.

But i got the problem on the computer side you see im running vista x64 rtm final and when i place cygwin into the sys32 folder and launch popstation, it just loads and exits immediately. I would really appreciate it if someone out there would make a gui version of this say through c++ now im not begging, im just saying if you feel like helping out a fellow psp user than go ahead im sure there are 1000's of n00bs who dont really know how to work this thing (i do btw lol).

If its for the ps3 downloaded ver. you have to collect 3 of those "thingies" which takes you to a "bonus" stage, when you complete that, it lets you pick a save file for the game. the "bonus" games are once every 2 or 3 levels. or you can just find the cheat codes for levels past where you are currently, like gamefaqs.

» if it were me

If it was my decision, I would go with a solid "no". unless you want to wait "even longer". I mean, so far, they have had some sucess with the 82's, but I mean, they are coming along nicely with them, it would be a shame to update to 302 and find out tomorrow the 82's were decrypted. I dont think you would be able to play the "own psx backup's" either--not too sure on this, but i think its only OE-B's that can do this. (and A if i remember the readme correctly)

» Read this post carefully.

Stop your howling and read this man's post. He has provided you with everything you need, if only you follow his instructions.



Go to Rapidshare. Download the files he has provided. Unpack the RAR with the password he has given you. Follow his words.



Here is a few extra pointers.



Make a directory that has a very simple path. Like C:\ALEX (note that this board might remove the backslash that should be there). Copy all the things you need in there using the explorer.



Open a shell like this: Go to the Start button. Click on it. Come over to the 'Run' menu item. Click on it. You now see a box into which you can type commands. Type 'cmd' without the quotes. That opens a command line interface. You need to change to the directory into which you put all your booty. So type CD C:\ALEX (again the BBS may ruin this - there's a backslash between : and A.



You should be in the right directory. Type DIR to confirm this.



Now make damn sure there are NO SPACES in the name of the .ISO



Duke Nukem.iso IS WRONG



DUKENUKEM.ISO is correct.



In the Command Line Interface type:



popstation image.iso



and it will spend some time fussing with it. Out comes an EBOOT



Put that in a folder. Copy the keyfile into that folder. Copy that folder to the GAME folder.



It works. It really does.

I think I tried everything: I got different ISOs of FFT, I tried using Syphon Filter as my BASE instead of Hot Shots 2, I tried putting the resulting EBOOT in GAME and GAME150, I tried converting Castlevania:SOT N instead of FFT, I even tried using different versions of cygwin1.dll. Nothing worked at all.



Then, on a whim, I decided to reboot my PSP. IT WORKS SO GLORIOUSLY. FFT's graphics are absolutely perfect, and the sound has an odd reverb that is totally rendered moot by the fact you're playing FFT on a PSP.



Just for reference's sake: I used Syphon Filter for my BASE.PBP and KEYS.BIN, and the latest cygwin1.dll from www.cygwin.com. I put the resulting EBOOT.PBP file and KEYS.PBP into /PSP/GAME/FFT.

okay, I'm having trouble upgrading to 3.02 OE-B.. (I'm on OE-A right now)

the readme says: "Place the folder OEB_UPDATE inside /PSP/GAME150 and run it."

well.. I did and it's not working, getting the gamebootscreen and then the psp just turns off...



what am I doing wrong? any help?

by Jay - 2006-12-26 00:54

Enter recovery mode by holding R when the psp starts up and make sure the Game folder is set to FW1.50 Kernel access. For some reason it only worked when my GAME folder was called GAME and not GAME150.



Should work

ALL NEW PSPs ARE BEING SHIPPD WITH THE TA-082. IF U CAN MAKE A HEN-E OR A CUSTOM FIRMWARE FOR THE TA-082s, THAT WILL DEFINATELY BRING MORE PPL INTO THE COMMUNITY.

» Music Files Not Playing

For games like "Mortal Kombat Trilogy" & "Alien Trilogy" they have music files, and the bin files reads them from the cuesheet.



I've tested both of these games, and they're flawless, with only 1 problem. No Music for either game



Could someone help me out, in explaining how to get the music to work in these games, now that they're in "eboot.pbp" format?? Thanks alot

ok i have oe-a but i am have a problem upgradeing to oe-b. i did every thingg that the post told me to,but when i go to run it all i get is a corrupt data screen!what iam i doing wrong?

by hbdevil - 2006-12-26 04:57
» hmm problem

When I download the oeb.rar, I unrar it fine, and copy the OEB_UPDATE folder inside the J:\PSP\GAME\GAM E150 folder... so the folder is now like this...

J:\PSP\GAME\GAM E150\OEB_UPDATE\E BOOT.PBP



When I disconnect the USB, and scroll over to Game > Memory Stick, theres one icon there, but it is Corrupted Data.



So when I try to run this, I get "This game cannot be started. The data is corrupted." message.



I tried putting the EBOOT.PSP inside the GAME150 folder, like this...

J:\PSP\GAME\GAM E150\EBOOT.PBP

Which if I then went to Game > Memory Stick would then show the "3.02 OE-B Update".



However, when I run this, it looks like it's running, makes the noise and the PSP logo comes up, but the screen comes back with the error "The game could not be started. (80020148)."



I have formatted the memory stick after each stage up upgrading, any idea where I'm going wrong?

» Some Images for Final Fantasy Tactics save files

popstation quote:



By default, the program will use the ICON0.PNG, PIC0.PNG

and PIC1.PNG from the BASE.PBP. (hot shots)

If you want to use your own pics, place them in the same directory than popstation, and he will

take those.



I found some images that i thought looked pretty nice for the Final Fantasy Tactics PSX game.



Here is the link right click and save as ICON0.PNG in your popstation directory before you create your eboot for Final Fantasy Tactics



Here is the Icon

And here is the background



http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/5650/pic1dl9.png



save it as PIC1.PNG in the same directory



!Note! When you save a game using these images the PIC1.PNG does not transfer to the save file. If you would like to see it in your SAVEDATA files you will have to manually copy it into the final fantasy tactics save game folder.

» >.> Stupid question

I have a 1.5 PSP, but I was hoping to use my spare 2.51 instead, since I love the DH Custom firmware. The 2.51 was a launch day version, so I know it can't be one of the newer motherboards. Is it possible for me to go directly to one of Dark Alex's firmwares ((2.71 SE or 3.02 OE)) without risking a downgrade?



Also, can I go directly from 1.5 to 3.02 OE-B, or do I need to go 2.71 SE-A, SE-B, SE-C, OE-A, OE-B?



Thank you very much!
